Goverment during the Great Famine


The Goverment was a cause for the Famine to get worse, they thought the population in ireland was too large and decided to let people starve.Which is and was very cruel.Ireland was the only country effected at the time.Some countrys closed their ports to exports and imported substitute foods,some from ireland.The Goverment also thought it was better to starve people to reduce poverty. The Famine was a very sad and depressing time for the people of ireland.
